We bought him a week before Halloween and figured he'd only last a couple of months. But he stayed firm and fresh until a few days ago. Dang it.

There are alot of rabbits and chipmunks in our neighborhood. Any neighbors with gardens have elaborate fences going high and deep. We might still give it a try next spring and grow a small patch in the corner of the backyard..under the big cauldron.

As far as carving technique...I just used a dull kitchen knife. And I never draw the face first.And I go with the flow.

Great jack-o.I am heading to Myrtle Beach S.C. next weekend and there is a shop that sells Dark Candles, so hopefully they have what I usually get and I can get them there so I don't have to wait for them to ship....
